Case Study: The Westerner Band Boosters saves $3,456 with Zeffy

The Westerner Band Boosters Saved $3,456 For Their Students Using Zeffy

The Westerner Band Boosters, a volunteer group supporting a Title 1 high school band program, faced high costs and complexity with their previous payment processor, Square. The platform was difficult for their volunteers to use, and its transaction fees were diverting hundreds of dollars annually away from student resources.

By switching to the free fundraising platform Zeffy, the boosters eliminated all processing fees and gained an intuitive, nonprofit-specific tool. Using Zeffy's features for ticketing and online stores, the group saved $3,456 in a single school year, allowing more funds to be directed toward instruments, uniforms, and meals for nearly 200 students.
